I like people who put their thoughts out there, and furthermore, when they have a “Principles<\/a>” page on their website that describes the thoughts that guide them. Cameron Porter joins on episode 238 of the show, not only as a former Major League Soccer striker on various teams, but as a current founder and funder for AlleyCorp<\/a>, an organization that builds transformative companies in New York City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At AlleyCorp, Cameron “…is responsible for new company R&D, due diligence on seed investments, as well the development of internal tools\/initiatives.” Regarding his academic experience, he “… studied computer science at Princeton University where he was recognized as an Academic All-American and William Winston Roper Trophy finalist for high scholastic rank and outstanding qualities of sportsmanship.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the episode, I had checked out his speaking with David Perell on The North Star Podcast<\/a>, and enjoyed their discussion. My discussion with Cameron ranged from his mindset, to his soccer experiences, to his founding and funding practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
